Question
Chapter 2, Problem 16E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The naming of elements is to be explained.
The elements were named on the basis of their properties. For example: the name of the element “argon” is originated from the Greek word “argos,” meaning inactive, which is referred to the chemical inertness of argon.
Some elements were named elements after countries. For example: the element francium after France and polonium after Poland.
Some of the elements were named elements after scientists like mendelevium named after Dmitri Mendeleev.
